Back to twisted, which means i have a man to present, and thats peepaw horned king
Тгк INQUISITEUR
Dw he will die in the story
thought it wouldn't be family-friendly of twisted to do him really scary and look alike a corpse would, so grandpa will be a blind angry man with a big stick to hit his minions
Guess i should rewatch the movie to make a few more options for his design lol
On my hands and knees draw Lilia more often please 🥺?
Now with that aside, your art-style is gorgeous!!
Any tips about drawing things like comics? I want to do one and have a vague idea about the panels and order of it but still find it difficult to organize.
AW my god thank you so much!!! I will try to draw more often all of Diasomnia bois if i'd get the chance, just need the previous spark for the fandom to return //
here is another Lilia so yea, hope you enjoy
> under cut explanation about paneling (for manga mostly)
SO- start with the basics, my short attention span reader
Keep in mind i know that the 2nd page has poor paneling flow, all cuz I don't care about social norms if it looks great.
(I suggest not to do that if you struggle to feel "how to panel" yet)
You just need to keep up with the flow of the panels: R,L,R or another way around.
If we're speaking about panels themselves - make them vary and different to avoid the same boring squares like you use in memes only if you don't have a long scene that needs repetitive panels.
(I don't mind repetetive panels tho, but if your reader is stuck on a long panel of your character snatching keys off a table or running somewhere - it ruins the atmosphere)
Use different sizes and shapes: big - long, small - quick, side - push or quick action.
NEXT COMES->
Don't know if many people know it, but i see it a lot - a poor usage of spaces between panels. It hurts me physically to see a great art on a page that looks just like this (1) instead of this (2) :
See the spaces between the upper panels and ones below? -> that's the breaking point that gives you and your reader a moment for a break.
The simpler and clearer the page is looking - is easier for your brain to consume the picture, instead of being stabbed by 60 panels a page like some trap in the pyramids and hungry sphynx cat that want to eat you aliv—ahem!
If you see a cut like this - that's a must.
Also i'd add that in between panels - you can even put them pixel to pixel (see page 3). People use a big cut for the sides too, but I rarely saw it, maybe for a roll-in to another scene, OR for a new scene to happen
These two are self explanatory pages - be creative with your panels and push yourself to do even simple backrounds.
Creative peace of the pages and panels keeps people hooked, makes them jump up and down just to see more and more - that's something you should use. In addition, it also helps you and your readers understand the story with pictures more than oversharing with the text.
Yes, people have short attention span and would'nt remember the leaf you rendered 40 nights ago or what word was 60 pages ago at panel 3 on left, but do yourself a favor:
1. Make your pages full to avoid (simple)-(rendered)-(simple) pages in this chronology if its not needed, it ruins the mood and makes it look like you wanted to draw just for that one scene (i feel that, me too reader, me too...)
2. Show and don't tell, keep somethig out of reach, hide it and show 70 pages later (only a nerd for your manga would notice whilst binge-reading)
3. ALWAYS SPACE! don't push everything in one page, there is unlimited canvases in CSP you can use to draw your leaf falling off a tree into the mouth of an alligator
4. Remember to have fun, play with perspective, make your picture in that 4×7 square looks as good, it would make people want to use it in edits (don't overdo it tho)
MOST IMPORTANT: If you want draw like your favorite author ot just be like the pinterest picture gods- study their paneling, make up rules that you think they used to understand what and how to draw and roll for it.
It was just a bit, but i hope it helped with the start!
